No, SV305 can be connected to computer systems, such as Windows, Linux, Raspberry Pi, etc.

How to use SV305 Cameras with KStars/Ekos on Linux?
Please refer directly to this blog. https://www.svbony.com/blog/how-to-use-sv305-cameras-with-kstars-ekos-on-linux/
Has anyone had issues with lots of marks on screen on the SV305? the image or video that it produce is just black and white color.
Do Debayer processing, the black and white issue just means you need to debayer your video in post processing. Some image acquisition programs, e.g. SharpCap Pro, can be set to debayer your images as you acquire them. If you save the RAW images you can debayer these later using the free program Planetary Imaging PreProcessor (PIPP). Once debayered, you can stack your images in DeepSkyStacker or other programs with image stacking capabilities.
Why is it very clear when using the SV305 camera to observe the forest during the day, but it is blurry when observing the moon at night?
The camera can be recognized, so the camera don't have question and you installed the camera driver right. And you can use it during daytime, so I think it is the software set, like ISO and exposure time. 1)Make sure you find the moon with the finderscope( already did Coaxial alignment) or eyepiece and change the eyepiece to SV305 2)Try Auto exposur time, it can solve most questions. 3)If you still can't do it, use the AstroDMX capture, to check if it is the software compatible questitn. 4)You can upgrad to Win11 if still it is not all the above quesitons.
When using sharpcap to connect to SV305M Pro, the color of the image is wrong, and the white background is yellow. How to solve it?
First adjust the color space to raw8, select GRBG for the color preview, and then adjust the white balance parameters.
When using N.I.N.A, the corresponding driver has been installed, but why does it show that the necessary driver is missing when connecting SV405cc?
This should be because the driver is not installed correctly. Please try to reinstall the latest version of the driver.
How to solve the phenomenon of sensor fogging?
If this problem occurs, we can reissue a drying stick to dry the inside of the camera.
Can a short exposure of about 10 seconds at high ISO work normally?
Yes, it can work normally.
How long does it take to save the picture to the computer after each exposure?How long does it take to save the picture to the computer after each exposure?
The time taken to save to the computer is related to the computer configuration. Using USB3.0, it is basically less than 0.05 seconds.
When taking images with SV405cc, the biggest difference is the weak blue color difference of bright stars.
This is related to offset, white balance and saturation, please adjust the parameters again.If there are still problems, please give feedback to N.I.N.A and us.
When the SV405CC camera is connected to NINA, the current target is photographed, but the previous target is displayed when the image is opened.
The new version of the driver is being updated, which will improve this problem.
Is there any way to attach the SV405c camera to a Canon Lens?
We currently have this Canon adapter, please check if it works. https://www.svbony.com/sv149-canon-cameras-lens-adapter-to-1-25-inch/
I am trying to use sharpcap with my SV405CC and it tells me I need V2.0.0.6 firmware to use my new camera with my AVX 8 SCT.
If it is a prompt message on sharpcap, please ignore it. This message will be prompted to everyone who uses svbony cameras. Since our sdk and drivers are also being updated all the time, most products do not need to update this firmware anymore.
I just have one question regarding the frame rate. On both sharpcap and firecapture, I am getting around 45-46 fps on full resolution of 2712×1538. Is there something I can do to get to 93 fps at that resolution?
Some precautions are listed below: 1)The computer configuration will affect the speed, and the computer interface needs USB3.0 2)The amount of computer memory and software will also have a certain impact. The less software the computer has, the higher the camera speed will be. 3)Check whether the USB speed is set correctly. Select 2. In addition, select RAW8 or RGB24 as the shooting format, which can reach about 93fps.
When using SV605CC, the image or video that it produce is just black and white color?
Some image acquisition programs, e.g. SharpCap Pro, can be set to debayer your images as you acquire them. If you save the RAW images you can debayer these later using the free program Planetary Imaging PreProcessor (PIPP). Once debayered, you can stack your images in DeepSkyStacker or other programs with image stacking capabilities.
When we use a direct driver and capture an image, all images are always incorrect data? I see banding in the images taken with this camera, mainly in darks?
The new version of the driver is being updated, which will improve this problem.
I have extrem horizontal banding in my images. And get rid of it after calbration. Do have any idea what couls cause the banding?
Increase the Gain to 115, when the camera changes to HG mode. Or you can try to download the latest driver.

The driver may not be the latest version and needs to be updated to the latest version of the driver.

You can please use at least 4GB Raspberry Pi,the higher the configuration, the better the effect.
